Tulsi Mala - Brown

Tulsi (holy basil) is one of the most sacred plants in Hindu belief, regarded as an earthly form of the goddess Tulsi and forever linked with Lord Vishnu. If the number 3 or 4 is missing from your numerology chart — meaning the wood element is missing — a Tulsi mala is the traditional remedy recommended to restore it.

Our Tulsi mala is strung from 108 rich brown tulsi wood beads plus a guru bead. Traditionally, it is considered best suited to vegetarians, in keeping with tulsi's status as a sacred, pure plant. Hand-strung on cotton thread as a full 108+1 bead mala — long enough to wear as a necklace or use for japa (mantra counting), finished with a soft tassel. The extra 109th "guru" bead marks where each round of chanting begins and ends. Every mala is energized before dispatch, the same way we energize our silver Yantra lockets, so it reaches you ready to wear.

Traditionally worn for

• Restoring the wood element for those missing number 3 or 4
• Growth in religious and spiritual practice
• Mental clarity and focus, especially during japa (mantra chanting)
• A steady, disciplined, more organised mind

Who this is for

• Anyone whose numerology chart is missing the number 3 or 4
• Anyone wanting a mala for daily japa or meditation
• Devotees of Vishnu and Krishna
• Vegetarians seeking a mala considered traditionally suited to them

How to wear it

Begin on a Thursday. Wear it as a necklace or keep it for chanting — many devotees avoid wearing it into the bath or while sleeping. Keep it away from soap, perfume and chemicals, and store it in a soft pouch when not worn.
